Nikon professional D4 dslr announced. The camera features a new full-frame cmos image sensor with 16.2 megapixels, a new rgb light meter with 91.000 pixels, and the Expeed 3 chip that also in the Nikon 1 is.
Nikon’s new professional dslr body compared to its predecessor, the D3s, on a number of points improved. For example, the newly designed full-frame-cmos-image sensor with 16.2 megapixels, a higher resolution, while the iso range in the lower regions with a light stop is extended. This range can further be extended to the equivalents of iso 50 and iso 204.800. The maximum burstrate of the camera is ten frames per second with mid-term focus. This number relates to a photo more if the focus and exposure are fixed after the first photo.
The af module is still the type-Multi-CAM 3500FX and still has 51-af points, but these would be newly designed with the ability to focus at a maximum aperture of f8. This is useful for when using, for example, supertelelenzen in combination with a 2x-teleconverter. It is also now a focus at a light level of only -2EV.
Also new is the rgb sensor, not only for the exposure metering and the white balance is used, but also used in combination with the auto focus and even face detection in the viewfinder. The extra features are possible because Nikon 91.000 pixels on the rgb sensor has processed, whereas the D3s 1005 pixels. The shutter is made of a kevlar/carbon fiber-composite, and it is now up to 400,000 sluiterbewegingen can manage it, a third more than the D3s.
Nikon has the D4, a lot of work made of the video capabilities. So can the dslr now 1080p video in FX or DX crop, while 1-on-1 full hd crop without interpolation which makes moire less of a need to act. The D4 offers the possibility of uncompressed video via the hdmi output to send to an external recorder or monitor. It is also a smooth diafragmabesturing possible via buttons on the front of the camera. Not only can an external stereo microphone on the D4 to be connected, but also a pair of headphones.
